Blog: Developing sustainability in the cultural sector

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

One of Creative Carbon Scotland’s five strategic objectives is to influence the ‘structures’ that shape the cultural sector so that they support and encourage individuals and organisations to engage with climate change. We work with organisations that create those structures to use their funding, training opportunities and other means to increase environmental sustainability in the cultural sector itself. We offer various training days and free tools on our website (for example our new Carbon Management Planning tool, which is currently in its development stage) to support organisations in their efforts to become more sustainable.

As part of this work, CCS Director Ben Twist will be taking part in Enterprise Music Scotland’s 2017 event Train and Sustain, working with chamber music ensembles and musicians across Scotland. This builds on work Ben has done with EMS over the last year delivering training sessions for the EMS Board and Promoters.

Train and Sustain provides professional training in delivering music workshops followed by placements allowing participants to put their new skills into practice. At this event, participants will work with Ben Twist on the sustainability of their own practices, as well as with Alec Thompson-Miller (ACE Voices Aberdeen) and Sonia Cromarty (High Heels and Horse Hair/Transplanted) to explore outdoor learning and look at ways in which music can help children connect with nature and the environment.

We want to encourage sustainable behaviour throughout the  cultural sector. That’s why we run workshops throughout the year aiming to reach as many people as possible to share tools and strategies for sustainability Our regular Green Tease events are a platform for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and practices that build links between the arts and sustainability: if you’re in the north or the south, check out our Ullapool and Hawick events on 19 August and 8 September respectively.

Top 5 Tips: EdFringe Sustainable Practice Award

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

Are you planning on applying for the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award? We’ve put together some quick suggestions on how to make your production a contender!

The award strives to recognise efforts taken by artistic productions to create a show that acknowledges the various strains of sustainability, and/or demonstrates sustainable behaviours throughout the production process.

While sustainability is often simplified to its environmental components, The Sustainable Practice Award recognises that sustainability exists in many forms. For this reason, productions with topics regarding social, economic or environmental sustainability are all excellent candidates for the award, and shows that lack themes of sustainability can be considered for the award if they worked towards creating a sustainable production.

Much like the broad definition of sustainability, our judges look at a variety of components in order to determine if a show will qualify for the award! After applications close on August 11th, we’ll announce those shows shortlisted for 2017!

Apply now for the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award!

Five Top Tips for Creating Sustainable Productions:

  1. Consider sustainability in your travel decisions. Consider how the members of your production are travelling to Edinburgh. Different modes of transportation have different levels of impact on the environment depending on the amount of carbon that they emit. Websites like Traveline Scotland and Loco2 are helpful in determining the most sustainable mode of transportation. Also consider where you are staying in Edinburgh. Staying in areas that surround the city centre allows you to access most venues by foot, helping to greatly decrease your carbon footprint.
  2. Consider sustainability in your production. Use sustainable materials when creating costumes and a set for your show. Gather materials from second hand shops and reuse props in order to decrease the amount of waste your production produces.
  3. Consider environmentally friendly marketing options.Online marketing options are increasingly popular and should be relied upon most heavily when promoting productions. Flyering is frequently used throughout the Edinburgh Festival Fringe but its environmental impact can be reduced! If no other means of marketing is available, choose a sustainable supplier such as PR Print and Design.
  4. Consider how ‘green’ your venue is. Have a conversation with your venue to find out what measures they are taking to create a sustainable environment for your production. Do they have a sustainability policy? Are they a member of the Green Arts Initiative? Have they informed you of any sustainability policies you must follow while performing at their location?
  5. Consider what you are going to do with your materials post-production. If you must dispose of set pieces or costumes after the show, make sure to recycle them. The Fringe Swap Shop takes place at Fringe Central (venue 2) from 27th – 29th This allows you to recycle pieces you do not need and possibly obtain recycled items for your next show! Similarly, make sure to recycle unused flyers properly at the end of the festival rather than just leaving them with your venue or disposing them into a normal rubbish bin. For more information on what will be accepted at the Swap Shop, contact participants@edfringe.com.

Apply now for the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award!

The project partnership of Creative Carbon Scotland and The Centre for Sustainability in the Arts introduced the Fringe Sustainable Practice Award at the Hollywood Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010.  The award is run with support from PR Print and Design, and media partnership from The List. For more information, please contact alana.laidlaw@creativecarbonscotland.com

Open Call: Season for Change 2018

Creative Carbon Scotland, Open Calls

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

In 2018 over 150 arts organisations are coming together to programme events, conversations and performances under the banner Season for Change. The season will be about inspiring creative actions on climate change.

Season for Change will run from June to December 2018 encompassing the shortest and the longest night. There will be a huge variety of events right across the country with the intention to build on this with a 2020 Season for Change. Both seasons will link into the global “COP” talks (responsible for the Paris Climate Agreement) and aim to raise public interest and conversation about our environment.

Callout for Ideas:
In addition to all the events across the county in 2018, Season for Change are hoping to commission an inspiring national project which will happen on a single day in Autumn 2018. They are looking for a creative, playful idea that will stimulate conversations about our environment.  The idea, when carried out in a single location, is likely to be something simple which engages diverse groups of people and captures the attention of local media. But when the idea is carried out across the country, in multiple locations, on the same day, it will also capture national media attention and demonstrate a united response to the most urgent issue of our time.

Deadline Monday 14 August.

Interested in submitting an idea? Read more here, and use this online form to submit.

The Season for Change is coordinated by a national consortium of arts organisations led by Julie’s Bicycle, Inspired by conversations across the What Next? network.

Edinburgh Festivals: A Summer of Sustainability

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

Here at Creative Carbon Scotland, we’re lucky to be based in the home of some of the world’s largest cultural events and festivals! This summer there are lots of sustainability and cultural events taking place: both run by CCS, and by our collaborators – take a look and see what’s on.

The Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award

Running since 2010, one of our major summer projects is the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice award! Any production taking part in the 2017 Edinburgh Festival can apply for the award, and Creative Carbon Scotland the Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts are also running a help session for anyone wishing to apply: ‘How to Win the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award’ ! 

We’ll also be holding an award ceremony at the end of August! Keep you eyes peeled for more information!

Events for Artists and Industry Professionals at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

On Monday 21st August, Creative Carbon Scotland will be participating in The Fringe Fair, alongside other key strategic and supportive organisations for the cultural sector. With drop-in advice on specific issues, to information about first steps in sustainability, there will be plenty of chat! 

Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s Participant’s Programme, Creative Carbon Scotland will be hosting ‘Sustainable Shows: Emerging Trends’ on Wednesday 23rd August: a facilitated workshop for cultural producers, directors, writers and other arts professionals. With speakers from the USA, the UK and Australia, the session will actively examine how to integrate sustainability into production planning.

As in previous years, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society will also be running The Fringe Swap Shop: a zero-waste initiative that aims to re-purposes props, costumes and materials from Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows for new productions!

Events as part of Edinburgh Art Festival

With a core theme among commissions of Sir Patrick Geddes, this year’s Festival explores some of the better physical, social and emotional ways of living, inspired by the town planner/polymath/conservationist. Responding to Geddes’ key work ‘The Making of the Future: a Manifesto and Project’, EAF’s The Making of Future: Now summer meeting at (Green Arts Initiative member) North Edinburgh Arts is essential for those engaged in exploring the legacy of Geddes, and the role of artists in city regeneration.

Equally, combining the work of Geddes at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, and the urban ecosystem, Bobby Niven: Palm House (part of the Festival’s commissions programme) will be based at the Johnston Terrace Wildlife Garden from July 27th – August 27th.

Greener Print Deal for Fringe Companies

Creative Carbon Scotland

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

 

We are delighted that PR Print and Design are supporting the Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award and the Green Arts Initiative: continuing the success of this work, and offering their high quality, affordable and speedy Climate Neutral print and publications to the arts and cultural sector!

Creative Carbon Scotland first came into contact with PR Print and Design when we were sourcing a supplier for our own printing needs. We were impressed that their products have no environmental impact, as they generate almost all their required energy by their 192 onsite solar panels; they send zero waste to landfill; and they deliver the print by carbon-neutral courier!

They also calculate any remaining impacts of the print job, and offset this through a recognised carbon offsetting organisation that supports low-carbon technologies in the developing world – providing the customer with a certificate to keep which verifies and demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to the environment.

A Special Offer for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

For Summer 2017 they’ll be offering a special deal for Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows and promoters. We know that print is currently one of the key ways to direct audiences to shows, but that striving to do it in a sustainable way, and on a budget (in the madness of the summer festivals) can be difficult.

They can create custom jobs of all shapes and sizes. but for a starter-for-ten, they can do:

  • 1000 A5 flyers for £75
  • 2000 A5 flyers for £119
  • 200 A3 posters for £69

They also tend to work on a 3-day turnaround, meaning they can deliver repeat orders (so you don’t overorder in one go) during the festival, or can top up new materials with fresh information (e.g. show review ratings) when you need it.

A Year-Round Arts Offer

However, if you’re not a Fringe company, there is still a way to benefit from this carbon-neutral opportunity. PR Print offer a huge range of print services (look out for a GAI report or Green Arts Conference programme, for example), and are set up to cater to the needs of the Scottish cultural sector, making:

  • Posters and printed materials of any size
  • Postcards
  • Programmes and other booklets
  • Business cards
  • Tickets
  • Exhibition stands and boards

They also have the benefit of being a local, Scottish business! Check out their MakeWorks video to get an idea:

Make Works visits PR Print & Design in Glasgow from Make Works on Vimeo.

PR Print and Design supports Creative Carbon Scotland’s Edinburgh Fringe Sustainable Practice Award, and our Green Arts Initiative, and has done since 2016. For more information, contact catriona.patterson@creativecarbonscotland.com or phil@prprint.net.

Open Call: Carbon Management Tool Trial

Creative Carbon Scotland, Open Calls

This post comes from Creative Carbon Scotland

More arts organisations than ever are measuring their carbon footprint and many Green Champions are keen to find ways to make reductions in emissions. With so much data available we are developing a better understanding of how the creative sector produces emissions. We are now working on ways to support organisations to develop Carbon Management Plans to proactively avoid emissions on their next projects.

As part of this support we are developing a customised tool which will allow cultural organisations to track their current carbon footprint and to examine opportunities to reduce it. We want to make the tool useful and easy to use so we are asking for help to trial the tool during this development phase.

We will be holding a session for around 5 potential users to come along and provide feedback and suggestions for improvement. The session will take place during August in at our office in Waverley Court in Edinburgh.

If you are interested in helping us with the project, please contact fiona.maclennan@creativecarbonscotland.com.

Deadline July 27 2017.
